"To say we were “blown away” with our experience is simply not enough. From our consultation to preparing for the big day to the day of and after, we have had nothing but success with Shelah. She is professional and always thinking a step ahead. SHE KNOWS WEDDINGS LIKE THE BACK OF HER HAND. She was prepared for any conversation we had and with my crazy work schedule, this was a blessing. On our wedding day, she kept me laughing. She shared our most inimate moments with the most important people in my life. There is no one I would have wanted there other than Shelah. Our wedding photos came pouring in very quickly after the wedding and it was amazing seeing what she created each time we saw each new photo. We cannot wait to use Shelah for all of our future needs. She is simply the best!"

The first time I ever worked with Shelah was when she took milk bath photos of my son and I. As soon as I met her I knew she was the photographer to photograph our wedding. She’s kind, down to earth and loves what she does. Every photo shes ever taken of my family is out of this world. She has such a talent. She can capture emotion in a photo and I don’t think that’s an easy thing to do! I cried all over again looking at our wedding photos, I got to feel every emotion from that day all over again. If you want someone who isn’t going to take “staged” photos all day, Shelah is your girl. We definitely found OUR photographer. I can’t wait to take more pictures with Shelah

My boudoir session with Shelah was, hands-down, one of the most empowering things I have ever done in my entire life. Let me be clear: If you’re anything like me, you might be nervous. In fact, if the concept of boudoir makes you nervous, that’s a sign that you need to book your session immediately - like, right this very second. Why? Because you are the type of woman that is going to be transformed by your boudoir experience. I know, because that was me. Here’s the raw, unedited truth: You’re going to walk in to your session feeling a bit unsure, and you might even wonder if you really signed up to do this on more than one occasion. But, throughout your session, some unexplainable magic happens, and you’re going to leave feeling like you are none other than Beyonce herself. Shelah has a gift, and she works to make the whole experience as pampering and stress-free as possible. When you receive your images, you will likely be in shock that the gorgeous, sexy woman that you see reflected is actually you. In fact, even one year later, whenever I have a moment of doubt, I simply look back at the photos that were taken that day, and I remember what a fierce badass I am. Boudoir is the absolute best gift any woman can give herself, and I cannot recommend booking a boudoir experience with Shelah enough.

"My husband and I have used Shelah for all of our photoshoots (3 now) and most recently she was our wedding photographer! I seriously can't imagine anyone else doing a more beautiful job for our special day. Not only is she so fun and professional to work with throughout the entire day; she has the most creative ideas for shots. Shelah perfectly directed our wedding party and family and they even commented how much they loved working with her too! We completely trusted her judgement and was blown away when we saw the photos. There were so many moments that were perfectly captured, but the photography was not intrusive at any point. She got the edited photos back to us so fast. Not only do I highly recommend using Shelah, I am excitedly referring her to all of my engaged friends that she is photographer they have to use!! By far my favorite vendor of our wedding day and will be yours too!"
